Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large frying pan or wok over a medium–high heat and fry the onion, celery, kale stalks and carrot for 4–5 minutes until soft. Add the curry powder and chilli and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the kale leaves and soy sauce and cook for another 2 minutes.

Garnish with the cashews and serve piping hot.
